/lounge/ - sushi social

Might be seeing some extended family for new year's. They're still mourning the loss of their daughter, who died due to a heroin overdose, despite being upper middle class and college-educated. Not really comfy but oh well. That's life.

Where did that pic of holo come from? Ironically I’ve been rewatching spice and wolf, she a true waifu for sure.

I ordered the new(-ish) Legend of Zelda game with my gf for the Switch we just bought together, so I'm probably gonna play that whenever it comes in. Tomorrow we're planning on going out to watch some fireworks in the evening for New Year's.

Lots of snow in the past days. Comfy levels are through the roof right now.

I feel like lofi was desighned to be a low-key comfort music. Like whan you're not in the mood for thoroughly enjoying your favourite music, but you want somthing comfy to relax to.

Or when you're feeling melancholic.

Make a cup of tea and pet my dog.

here's a more extreme nerd house story:

I thought of that when the topic came up. Fredrik knudsen did a good video on that for down the rabbit hole if anyone is into that stuff.

I was actually thinking of starting a nerd house of some sorts sometime early next year. Not nerd in the sense of vidya, anime, gaming etc, but really smart people, and creators. I figure we'll be able to come up with all kinds of cool projects, and ideas living together. And it'll force me to be less withdrawn, as it tends to happen whenever things get stagnant. I'm a bit nervous about the idea of having roommates in my first house but at least I'll be bringing in rent money.

>>4775
That sounds like a good idea, IF they're people you actually know well and get along with already. That's the difference between a happy and (for lack of a better word) productive home and a den of fucktards who answered the ad for "Wanted: really smart people" filled with social politics.

>>4775
Establish clearly-defined rules and a cleaning schedule. That's really important, unless you want everything to go to shit quickly. Speaking from personal experience.

Please don't randomly spam your site on other chans. There's an invite thread for this kind of thing right here: >>1640

Freindly reminder to as girls out, rolls.

Digital Ocean tried to do that with me a logn time ago. Disabled my account and asked me to upload a picture of my passport. I never did, but rather contacted their support. They re-enabled my account again without me ever having to give them sensitive information.

>>4679
This is funny and sad how some people willfully share their ids and pictures and whatever private information someone on the web asked for. Whai. I ditched twitter when it asked me for my phone number, the hell I'd upload my id somewhere.

>>4684
I've lost track of all the accounts that I can't recover because they demand a phone number.

>>4686
Things like this will generally let you access your account again if you bother the support email about it and reply back to automated responses.

>>4686
Meanwhile I give google 2 numbers and instead of using them to send me a confirmation code, they ask for them both and still want to know when I created the account. Hell if I know. I've been waiting a week for someone to personally review my request for recovery.

I have gone through this before, but it was usually about not having a gathering for Christmas. Eventually, I just accepted this as part of my world. I started to let go of these types of holidays, and I live without them now. If only it wasn't for the constant advertisements, I would be able to live peacefully.

However, I didn't just relinquish good times. I learned that these types of traditions are really excuses to feel good together with people you know and sometimes meet people you don't know. As you get older, most of the onus to create the environment is on you, and it becomes another thing you do to build friendships or other relationships. In other words, like most things, you don't have parents or school to do these things for you anymore. You have to do them yourself. Sometimes it isn't worth it. Sometimes you realize why your dad might have been mad when you and your siblings decide to skip a meal or open presents at the wrong time.

Not at all. Actually, I have asked "What's wrong with 'em?''

>>4619
I was literally just about to post the same thing. Damn mind reading sushi rolls they're everywhere!

>>4559
I think what's wrong with you is that you want to be a child, as you said so yourself.

Do any of you have one of these air humidifiers? I always wondered if these things changed anything.

dont know if it's just me but moist dirt smells fucking amazing. I just wannna fucking smash my head into some and get a big fucking whiff

>>4639
Fresh beetroots smells very much of moist soil.

On that note (huehue), one of my favourite smells are the green star thing of a good tomato right after it's been torn off. Almost intoxicating to sit and sniff one.

are there candles out there that smell like fresh laundry?

>>4640
>the green star thing of a good tomato right after it's been torn off
Ooh, I have to try that!

I just remembered another favorite: the smell of freshly sliced lemon can literally give me goosebumps.

>>4214
I still don't understand this. Am I just ignorant of some genius prose?

Am I getting dumber, stupified, idioted, having my IQ lowered, losing sentience by the posting, the lost neurons, the dumbing me down, destroyed intellect, and Internet?

>>4253
Ye

You have been fooled,pranked,bested,clowned,defeated,humilliated,shame,jokes,comedy,lost,dumbed,exposed and upset by geniuses,clowns,intelligence,rock stars,artisans,savants,comedians,kings,holy men,minstrels and celing fans.

That fan looks cool.

Further details:

They asked me some random questions and kind of put me on the spot, which made me feel awkward. They like to shout indoors, not in an aggressive way, but they were very energetic and loud among one another. But I don't like shouting because of my abusive family that never got along with one another.

They asked if I don't swear for religious reasons even though I've literally never heard of that idea before, I just don't swear or talk much around people I don't know. Then they asked if I'm Catholic, and I said no. Didn't feel like explaining that my entire family is atheist and I'm thinking of joining a church but I don't know which one to join. Then they said maybe I'm buddhist, which was weird. I said nothing to indicate that I'm buddhist. Religion doesn't seem like a good topic to bring up as soon as you meet someone.

I could tell they were trying to get to know me because they asked me questions about myself, but I didn't really feel like opening up that quickly. I tried to engage people in conversation about themselves and their interests and stuff too, though I wasn't really good at it. They asked about movies and sports and other boring stuff which I can't relate to. I didn't feel like explaining how I spend my time programming and learning about reverse engineering, malware analysis, and information security.

They also just talked about a bunch of other random things.

They had two friendly dogs that I had fun petting. At least the dogs didn't ask me weird questions.

I wasn't used to this kind of family dynamic, where people were getting along and being talkative and stuff.

I also got the impression that they were used to everyone being really outgoing, and maybe I made people feel awkward by being quiet and not really knowing what to say. They said I'm introverted and quiet and my friend joked about me being a "silent killer" or something.

I've been in that situation before. It sounds like you are younger than me and haven't gotten out of that aloof, quiet-because-too-smart attitude. The "silent killer" and "reverse engineering, malware analysis, and information security" gives it away. Or maybe I'm projecting.

Since then, I've changed to be less awkward, but I occasionally drop immoral or taboo subjects on accident. If you take the time to pay attention, you can see everybody tense up when you say something bad. I'm still trying to figure out how to come back from those.

For example, I went to Thanksgiving dinner and talked about how a waiter charged me less money for something on the menu a few days ago. I thought I was lucky. Everybody around me thought it was immoral to accept a lower fee when obviously the waiter made a mistake.

As for the religion thing, I never answer those. I plainly refuse to answer them with "I don't really want to talk about my religious beliefs." and switch the topic immediately.

Another killer trick that I've had used on me is "Why do you think that?" Whenever somebody hits you with a "Are you X?" or "You're such a Y," just ask "Why do you think that?" Act like you care what they're saying and repeat their answers back to them.

Sounds good. Something simple I do is say "what about you?" after answering a question about myself because I don't want the conversation to be all about me, but when you meet a new person they might ask a lot of questions about you.

>>4611
actually, it was alright, better than a normal day. feels good man

>>4611
>They asked if I don't swear for religious reasons even though I've literally never heard of that idea before
I've met people that do that, it's funny when they really want to curse but feel they can't.

>I said nothing to indicate that I'm buddhist.
They probably didn't think you were buddhist either, just said something awkward trying to keep the conversation going.

>how I spend my time programming and learning about reverse engineering, malware analysis, and information security.
Would reverse engeneering be a good topic for conversations?
A lot of different professions, hobbies, activities deal with it so i expect it to be more paupable than the other 3 options as they need a lot more specific explanation and myth deconstruction.

>But anyway, how was YOUR thanksgiving?
We don't have thanks giving here so i spent it studying.
